thanks for all the car help!

I ended up not getting any of the options I posted in my poll.

The Prius sold, the Jetta just wasn't as spacious as I wanted. A car seat fits in it, obviously since that's what we had before, but it's a tight fit.

I test drove a Passat, but they wanted too much for it. That salesman annoyed me, because when they suggested the Passat, I said the price was too high. The guy texted his boss and then said, "he said we can come down to your price range", which he knew exactly what that was. And then they still wanted about $3,000 more than our top limit. So we went to a different dealer. The salesman there suggested a SUV/crossover I hadn't even had on my radar, and I almost didn't test drive it. He drives one himself, do I figured I'd try it. Loved it.

So, extremely long story short, I am now the owner of a 2014 Outlander Sport. We got a good deal on it, it was used, but the owner traded it in with only 2000 miles on it because she didn't like it and wanted to go back to a sedan. About the same mpg as my old Jetta.

Anyway, thanks again everyone! I appreciate the help.
